weaker: actual business at $4.S31a for sixty
days and S4.s6 for demand. The stock mar
ket was little more active to-day aud the
speculation displayed a somewhat firmer
tone. but dizziness still remained the special
feature, although there was little more
movement among the inactive stock, the net
result Of the day being that yesterdays
losses were about recovered. London az ain
changed from this morning, and it once
more bee anne buyer Of its specialties, which
made IN Improvement at the opening. The
room traders, however, seized the Oppor-
tunity to unload the stock bought at yester-
days reaction, and the early gains were
not fully maintained. When the market
settled down it settled steady dull
dull with strong undertone The trad-
ing during most of the day remained
of purely professional character, and in q
great majority of the list the usual stagnation
resulted, the fluctuations for the most part
being confined within the range of % per
cent. There was absolutely no news Of
character to effect values, but the Baltimore
s. Ohio deal was again the subject OF consid-
cradle talk, and numerous rumors were cir
culated in regard to consolidation among
New England roads. Richmond s. West Point
was again most active, but was without feu-
the advances in Texas Pacific upon the now
assured success of the reorganization, and in
Fort Worth s. Denver. The opening
this morning was tame but firm
and strong, with first prices showing advan-
ces over last evenings final figures extending
to q per cent. The market was rather weak
in the early dealings under the lead of Rich.
mond& West Point, which dropped Is per cent.
After slight rally the market became eX-
tremey dull. but with an advancing tendency
TO prices which continued until noon. Texas
Pacific was prominent for its strength. The
market during the afternoon was featureless
and with the exception Of the advance in
Fort Worth e. Denver, showed only fiuctu-
ations of 1904 per cent. In the last hour
special weakness was developed in Hooking
Valley, which affected the great list some
what, but the close was steady and dull, close
to opening figures. The whole majority of
the active list show fractional ad-
Louisville & Nashville with advance

per cent, Richmond s. West Point and Hook
ing Valley were each of q per cent. Rail-
road bonds were dull to-day. The sales
